About Point Roberts:
Point Roberts, Washington is a mix of down home, small town charm and International consciousness. Only 20 minutes from Vancouver International airport and not much longer from downtown Vancouver, BC. Many full-time residents are consultants, inventors, scientists, writers, artists and virtual business owners who enjoy the natural beauty, peace and relaxed pace in between global travels.
A geopolitical oddity, Point Roberts is a part of the United States that is not physically connected to it, making it a pene-exclave of the U.S. It is located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and can be reached by land from the rest of the United States only by traveling through Canada. It can be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the U.S. by crossing Boundary Bay by sea or air.
Fresh air, miles of trails through ancient forests, miles of natural beaches, ocean kayaking, sailing, biking, hiking, photography and sighting the thriving eagle community and visits from J-Pod Orca whales can be enjoyed by everyone.
Organic gardening is a big deal at the Point Roberts Garden Club which has an annual tour that showcases a breathtaking array of gardens. Their site has "must see" pictures of previous tours and funds raised each year go towards community beautification projects.
Sitting at the western tip of the Port Phillip Heads is the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse.
Built in 1902, the heritage listed lighthouse is now an iconic tourist attraction, and is open for tours on Sundays.

A pair of FEC GP40-2s sit out a quiet Sunday morning at City Point. The lead unit and the cars that follow will be added to southbound rock train 335 in the early hours of Monday morning. The large Cemex facility seen in the distance is no doubt a good customer for the Florida East Coast.

Taken around 1980 at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve a few miles south Of Carmel by the Sea. Shot with a Minolta SRT202 and 50mm Minolta lens. I used this same camera for some photos taken in farm lands around Davis CA. this morning.
Mori Point at Sharp Park State Beach in the city of Pacifica, San Mateo County, California, overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The 105 acres of Mori Point are now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and, thus, protected for all time. The views are breathtaking. Coastal scrub plants cling to the ground.....their way of coping with the frequent gusty winds which blow over the hillsides. High up above the cold waves below, the site boasts sweeping views from Point Reyes all the way to Pedro Point. Mori's nature includes coastal bluffs, coastal prairie, and freshwater ponds.
Mori Point has been the site of many enterprises over the years. Originally part of the Spanish San Pedro Land grant, Spanish missionaries grew barley, corn and beans, and grazed cattle. The Mori family settled in Pacifica in the 1890s and began farming the land. By the 1920s the primary family business was the Mori Point Tavern, which became a much-loved drinking establishment through the Prohibition years. An alleged raid in 1923 resulted in the confiscation of 2300 whiskey bottles by federal agents. In the following decades the tavern business declined, and the building eventually burned to the ground in 1966.
Shot with a Nikon D70 and enhanced w/Photoshop CS3 and Topaz.

Prawle Point East Prawle South Hams Coast Devon.

Prawle Point is Devon’s southernmost extremity.
The word ‘Prawle’ derives from the Anglo Saxon word prǣwhyll, meaning ‘lookout hill’.
Chuffed with the cloud formation mimicking the foreground rocks.
I often witness some very photogenic sunrises from this location especially between January and April but like a lot of the coastline around this area as beautiful as it is its not your best choice if you want to include some interesting foreground or midground in your image while your better off on the west side of start point headland for a mornings seascape session and always a bonus if you luck out with a dramatic sunrise.
Point Alpha war neben OP Romeo, OP India und OP Oscar einer von vier US-Beobachtungsstützpunkten an der hessischen innerdeutschen Grenze. Der Stützpunkt lag im Zentrum der NATO-Verteidigungslinie „Fulda Gap“, in der die NATO im Ernstfall die Invasion der Truppen des Warschauer Pakts erwartete.
Heute ist „Point Alpha“ der Name einer Mahn-, Gedenk- und Begegnungsstätte an der Straße zwischen Geisa (Thüringen) und Rasdorf (Hessen).
Observation Post Alpha, OP Alpha, or Point Alpha was a Cold War observation post between Rasdorf, Hesse, in what was then West Germany and Geisa, Thuringia, then part of East Germany. The post overlooked part of the "Fulda Gap", which would have been a prime invasion route for Warsaw Pact forces had the Cold War erupted into actual warfare. It was abandoned by the military in 1991. Today, the "Point Alpha" memorial commemorates the Observation Point's four decades of existence. The memorial is dedicated to keeping it and a nearby section of the inner German border as reminders of the division of Germany and the confrontation between NATO and Warsaw Pact in the Cold War.
There are many places in National Park that are a must do if and when you visit the park. Just among the parks I visited, I can easily think of the following
1. Grand teton: Sunrise at Schwabacher Landing or any place where you can get a reflection of the peaks on the river
2. Yosemite: Sunset at Valley View or Tunnel view
3. Yellowstone: Morning/mid-day at the geysers to get their best colors
And just like that, one of the cliched must-do spots in Death Valley has been a sunrise shoot at Zabriskie Point. It has been done to death a million times by thousands of photographers, yet it magically draws you in with the promise of a spectacular sunrise (which usually never occurs).
Nevertheless, my last morning in Death Valley found me on the rim of the viewpoint, staring, along with others, at the beautiful vista all around. A few minutes before sunrise, the Belt of Venus appeared promptly, lending a lovely pink glow to the horizon, forming a correctly exposed backdrop to the photogenic sandstone formations.
This is my take on it, shot at 35mm at ISO 200, F14 at 1.3s exposure.

Devon's most southerly point, Prawle Point is characterized by its coastal arch, coastguard lookout point (now also a heritage centre) and the row of former coastguard cottages. Approached via the South West Coast Path the area around Prawle Point is one of the best places in the UK to find Cirl Buntings. A classic walk starts on the village green at East Prawle (the UKs most southerly village) next to The Pig's Nose pub and runs through wildlife-rich paths to pick up the Coast Path at Woodcoombe, past Prawle Point and back through smugglers tracks to East Prawle and the Pub.
The beach at Formby Point.
It was quite sunny but still cold, stood on top of a sand dune to get this I could certainly feel the wind.
